Niall Harvey – BHPA Chief Flying Instructor
Your BHPA Pilot Instructor & Guide
Niall Harvey has been flying paragliders nearly half of his life. When he's not teaching he's out flying!
Pilot
After qualifying as a pilot in jersey in 2001 I spent more than 2 decades obsessing over paragliding. During my 10 years in Nepal I learnt the secrets of thermal mountain flying & began my journey as an acro pilot. Progressing to become a commercial tandem pilot I developed a passion for sharing the experience of free flight.
Back in Europe I expanded my skills into speed flying and parakiting. In my down time I’m just as content flying XC in the Himalaya or ass to grass on a alpine moustache site.
I draw on these years of multi disciplinary experience to help new pilots develop on their own paragliding journeys.
Instructor
In 2014, I moved to southern Spain gaining a BHPA Instructor licence at Europe’s busiest school. I have taught hundreds of BHPA E.P and C.P courses, guided qualified pilot groups and provided 1-2-1 tuition. 7 years later I became a Chief flying instructor of my own school Flyniall.
Over the years I have come to the realisation that paragliding is about 40% knowledge but 60% head game. I now get my kicks from teaching post CP development & the psychology of flying, passing on the knowledge to the new generation of pilots. I also run siv clinics in Turkey & guided tours throughout the world.
Guide
Having over 20 years of flying knowledge in Nepal, Spain & the rest of Europe, I am able to maximise clients’ airtime and progression. Taking care of logistics on our guided tours I leave you to concentrate on the flying at hand.
I prioritise quality over quantity ensuring my guided trips feel like a true adventure forming memories & friendships that last a lifetime.
Your XC Guiding Ninja
If you’re serious about stepping up your XC game, it’s time you met MARCUS.
Marcus entered the world of flight as a sailplane pilot for over 10 years and holds a World Champion ranking in the world of RC dynamic soaring. Safe to say his aeronautical and meteorological knowledge is second to none. A Swiss paragliding pilot & tandem pilot of more than 25 years, Marcus is still as hungry as the day he first flew. If its flyable he will be flying, Marcus knows all the tricks to make Algo’s landscape deliver an epic flight, in every weather condition.
Reared in the Swiss alps, now let loose in Algodonales, Marcus will help you beat your personal best and gain invaluable knowledge in XC flying.
Winston

If you’ve met Winston and didn’t like him then this probably isn’t the website for you! This little dusty guy is there to provide unconditional love , cuddles & attention when needed . Don’t be fooled by his strong physique he’s a lover at heart & will speak fluent mandarin if there’s chicken in your sandwich.
